In the days when I was receiving them, one of the most frustrating tasks was filling in the first batch of dates (including birthdays etc). With a rolling electronic diary backed up online I don't have that problem... But this year I have more dates than usual coming in to January, because I am involved with the group organising the second year of the "Four Corners Festival" based around Belfast at the time of Christian Unity Week.
The theme for this year's Christian Unity Week is "Is Christ Divided?" The question might also be pertinently asked "Is Belfast Divided?" The answer to both to a certain extent, sadly, is yes... But this festival is a way of both demonstrating and promoting unity in the church and our wonderful wee city...
Here are confirmed dates for your diary so far... You can get more information at the 4 Corners Festival site, and can sign up there for facebook or twitter updates:
